The Lighthauz in Six Points
Balcony or No Balcony
Both sizes come in two versions with identical floor area: A1, B1 and C1 include a balcony, while A2, B2 and C2 do not. A balcony gives outdoor space; without one, all of the 732 or 1,001 square feet is indoor room.
Two Car Parks per Home
Every unit is allocated two car parks, the 732 sq ft homes included. A household with two cars has a bay for each without hunting for an extra one.
Light Lift Load
A typical floor between Levels 9 and 52 holds roughly 15 homes, and a service lift backs up six passenger lifts; Levels 53 and 53A hold roughly 8. That works out to two or three homes per passenger lift, so the lift lobby should not get crowded.
Podium Hall, Pool on Level 56
On the Level 9 podium sit a gym, a study room, a children's play area and a hall marked out for badminton, pickleball and 3x3 basketball. Higher up, Level 56 has a sky pool, jacuzzi and wading pool, and Level 57 a sky lounge and games room.
RM0.46 psf Maintenance Fee
Owners pay RM0.46 psf in maintenance, a figure that already covers the sinking fund. Gross prices start from RM1,117 psf. Homes come partly furnished.
Lotus's About 310 m Away
In a straight line it is about 310 m to Lotus's, about 420 m to Udini Square and about 460 m to Klinik Desa Sungai Gelugor, so groceries, a mall and a clinic are all close.

The levy is 1.5% for a price of RM1,000,000 to RM1,500,000, which covers every qualifying home here (3% would apply only above RM1,500,000), and it is due within 30 days of approval. Resale by a foreign owner is not allowed within 3 years of the SPA. MM2H participants have a Penang line of RM500,000 (up to two units), but they must satisfy the higher of the MM2H programme's own minimum and the state minimum.
